I noticed big changes in my baby between 3 to 4 months. At 3 months, he was eager to be held and fed by lots of different people, smiled at everyone and let anyone rock him to sleep. But by 4 months, he only wanted to be fed by me and rocked to sleep by me. Maybe it is just the timing because she was with your mom during a time when she is seeing better and understanding her main caregiver more. With persistence, my husband can once again feed my baby a bottle of breast milk. I would help my husband feed him and sing to him while my husband held him to feed him a bottle; also I would hold him and let my husband hold the bottle so that our baby could see both of us. But after a month, I am still the only one he will let rock him to sleep. It will take time. Just don't lose patience and give in by handing her back to your mom if she starts crying; hold her with your mom right beside you so she can feel comfortable with you again. Good luck!

My baby was visting my family for about six to eight weeks. It took sometime for us to readjust to her being her and for to be with us. It does get better and when it does you will feel the love agian.

its going to take time especially when she's so young its not easy for them to remember or recognize people especially when/if they havent been seen for a whole month.. its going to take alot of time before she's comfortable w/ you
